“Except for the Lord Himself,no single figure has done more for the Christian faith.” 
If you want to understand Christianity, you need to understand Paul. But with so many books on the apostle, where do you start? 
Paul the Apostle is the ideal choice if you want a solid understanding of Paul’s life, ministry, and writings without getting weighed down with minutia. Author Robert E. Picirilli, who taught college courses on Paul for over twenty-five years, found that most books on the apostle were either too technical or too basic, so he wrote a book that strikes a happy medium. It offers:
<ul>
<li>A profile of Paul in his historical and cultural context</li>
<li>Outlines and explanations of his missionary journeys </li>
<li>Introductions and brief analyses of each of his epistles</li>
</ul>
Useful for individual study or as a textbook (as it is in many universities today), Paul the Apostle is a great one-stop study of the man who wrote half the New Testament, spread the gospel to the heart of the known world, and gave his life for the Kingdom.

The New Testament Pastor Teacher, Leader, Shepherd: The New Testament Pastor does not attempt to tell the minister how preach or to describe how the pastor should go about his work, or to treat the practical problems faced by pastors. On the contrary, Teacher, Leader, Shepherd focuses on an understanding of what the Bible has to say to or about the pastor and his ministry. The author gives a solid treatment of the New Testament passages, which speak specifically, whether directly or indirectly, to the role of the pastor. The author presents an exegetical approach to the New Testament passages that includes practical exposition of the implications of the biblical text. Such a study is beneficial to any pastor whether a veteran or new candidate for pastoral ministry. The work is informing and challenging, helping to point the pastor s understanding in the right direction. The author does not offer chapters on each passage, but presents a more thematic approach, a succession of chapters on various aspects of the pastor s call, qualifications, and role. Yet, the discussions are entirely grounded in exegesis of several passages. At the beginning of the book the passages are listed, together with a brief exegetical outline and a pointer to the chapters that will give more attention to them.

A basic overview of the Reformed Arminian position on assurance and salvation Through a basic overview of the teachings of Joseph Arminius, Dr. Robert Picirilli discusses the biblical explanation of the possibility of apostasy. This concise book presents the Reformed Arminian position of assurance and salvation in easy-to-understand terms that are beneficial to both scholar and layperson.

Understanding Assurance & Salvation

Grace, Faith, Free Will addresses issues that have divided Calvinists and Arminians since the Reformation. Using historical, systematic, and Biblical theology, Robert Picirilli contrasts both views of salvation. His "Reformation Arminianism" reclaims the original beliefs of Arminius and his defenders.

Discipleship is a great read for those who have grappled with questions like: What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ? Is being a disciple of Jesus the same thing as being a Christian? What does a life of discipleship look like? Dr. Picirilli provides practical answers and applications for the reader through an exhaustive study of what the New Testament writers said about the requirements for salvation. He offers sound, comprehensive exegesis demonstrating that repentance, obedience, and discipleship are biblical expressions of saving faith. FEATURES Dr. Picirilli presents a thoroughly scholarly approach to dealing with Greek grammar, relevant textual issues, and contrasting interpretations on topics ranging from assurance of salvation, apostasy, backsliding, holiness, sanctification, and sin. He also shares important implications of how we should present the gospel, offer assurance of salvation, and incorporate proper church discipline. The author compares the Transaction Model of justification by faith as presented in the writings of Paul with the Discipleship Model of following Jesus in the Synoptic gospels.
